TPWD did an excellent job at creating a new fishery in north Texas! Bass were fishing excellent in flooded brush with lots of vegetation. Green leafed trees seemed to hold them a little better than dead ones. Get out there while those fish still haven’t seen any pressure and baits. Can catch them in large schools up shallow. Flipped and drug around a 5” senko tx rigged. If not hitting on the fall, they would bite shortly after you pop it off the bottom. If you miss one or hook one and miss it you can flip right back and get them to eat again. Over all 30+ bass caught mostly in the 2lb range but was able to get quite a few over 4 easily.

Fish would hit about anything. Big ones were best caught on slow moving baits. Caught most on Evo Chatterbait as listed and Bandito Bugs.

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureFlooded BrushI went out to the lake with my best friend and tournament fishing partner Iain and my Dad for our first time on 05/11/24. It was a mostly sunny day with morning temperatures starting in the high 50's and high temperatures reaching up around 80 degrees by the end of our time on the water, with a slight southwest wind at about 5 mph throughout the day. Water temperatures on the lake ranged from 72-78 degrees, and water clarity ranged from 1 to 3.5 feet of visibility with a tannic color to it in places. We spent the day throwing wacky rigs, chatterbaits, and texas rigs in and around the wide array of standing timber and flooded brush that the lake has to offer, and had a great day for it being our first time there and having to break it down with no contour maps or idea of the layout of the bottom of the lake at all. We ended up catching 15 on the day in half a day of fishing, and missed probably just as many, with our best 5 being somewhere around 13-14 pounds and our biggest fish being a 5 even on the scale (pictured with the report). We concentrated our efforts on mixtures of timber and green bushes in 4-12 feet of water, the closer you could get to the actual bank the better, although it was a challenge finding areas of the lake where you could actually weave a bass boat through the trees and get close to the bank. However, when you found those areas, you always caught a bass or two! I hope this report helps you break down the new lake a bit faster and catch some good bass, tight lines!

Trees on points both primary and secondary. Close to drop offs in 15-20ft Or on humps

They were scattered in the trees. Some in hardwoods some in cedars. Bottom variations helped. Find a hump or ditch and the fish will be there.

Dragging slow! As slow as possible. Open water humps and drops
